Yusupha,
Your points have been taken. For those who want to forge a way forward, our
strength lies in not only what we already can, but accepting our weaknesses
and finding ways and means of improving. The opposition should take note of
what you have raised and devise methods of remedying the situation instead
of seeing you as a trouble-shooter. But what does one expect when people are
so bent on screaming instead of doing concrete things? Who is really
interested in rolls of theory when, as a good friend pointed out, all you
have to do is go to www whatever theory.com and you have as many matches as
you want? Once again I need volunteers to free our country. Not paper tigers
or is the word cyber Gorrillaz.Can I count on the most outspoken?
Minos.
